...I still tutor there and lead workshops for the school's placement and admission tests. With my BA and MA in English, I've had a lot of writing experience. I evaluate students' grammar as I grade their essays, but I prefer to teach the grammar concept and let students identify and correct their own errors.

...My schedule is very flexible and I can meet you at your convenience. I generally tutor in the west suburbs of Chicago (Lombard, Villa Park, Elmhurst, and Naperville). I am available on weekends to meet at North Park Library on the northside of Chicago. I also am open to meeting students in their locality.

...I have experience teaching at the 4th grade level. Also, I have several years experience tutoring elementary students, specifically with math and reading skills. I have worked with students in the classroom as a resource teacher.

...Children need to be taught in ways that keep their interest and words that they understand. My hope is that all children are at or above grade level and think learning new things is fun. I use various materials for my phonics program including Wilson phonics.
